testing the profiles controller

Hi! when i test my profiles controller this is the failure I get:

test_only_shows_the_correct_user's_statuses(ProfilesControllerTest) [test/functional/profiles_controller_test.rb:25]: <#<User id: 890002738, first_name: "Brian", last_name: "Goldstein", profile_name : "briangoldstein", email: "kapp.gold@gmail.com", encrypted_password: "", reset_ password_token: nil, reset_password_sent_at: nil, remember_created_at: nil, sign _in_count: 0, current_sign_in_at: nil, last_sign_in_at: nil, current_sign_in_ip: nil, last_sign_in_ip: nil, created_at: "2013-11-07 04:22:47", updated_at: "2013 -11-07 04:22:47">> expected but was <nil>.

the pertinent lines in my controller test are:

  test "only shows the correct user's statuses" do 
    get :show, id: users(:brian).profile_name
    assigns(:statuses).each do  |status|
      assert_equal users(:brian), status.user
    end
